If you made your own cables using traditional fittings, it's fairly likely (don't take this personally) they won't work. I say this based upon years of trying to do this, and finally going to pre-made patch cables, and using Panduit mini-com connectors for in-wall wiring. Even if you only value your own time at 5ドル/hour, this makes sense.
